Around Southwick, a drinks bar suits garden parties and village-hall celebrations, with access for the truck or trailer. Aguas frescas and soft drinks cover guests who are not drinking alcohol.

Southwick questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you cater at coastal events near Southwick?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you come to Southwick?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Southwick is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Southwick? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A summer drinks reception in Southwick has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us when you want service to start

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
